2011 Books Poll

Books

The now customary round of year-end polls are being cross-posted to [info]librarything, so here's mine. Fewer graphic novels (especially superheroes) this year - almost certainly down to Croydon libraries being a lot poorer in that respect than Lambeth.

I haven't read any of yours but I have seen Marcus Brigstocke's 'God Collar' stand-up act live. It was fantastic!

I checked Rivers of London since I read it under the US title. Waiting eagerly for the next one.
